Rick, I think it all comes down to R&D and technology. Japan's Big 2 seem to be ahead of America's Big 3. I can't believe when one of my patients is so stoked to get a new Chevy, Dodge or Ford and 2000 miles later it needs a new tranny or something. Sure, it's under warranty, but who's to say it's not gonna happen again.
I've beat the crap out of my Toyota truck and only had to replace the clutch once, the radiator twice (not the greatest radiators, but then again, you are supposed to flush them every now and then), tires, brakes and oil. Oh yea, the timing chain tensioner once and a couple of batteries. Not bad for 243k on the odo.
There are American cars I like, I personally trust Honda and Toyota more.
